The many friends Of Messrs. Montgom

know that the rapid growth Of their bust.
ness has forced them to remove from Wa
bash Av., to Ill, 112. 113 and ia Michi-

magnificent building, the seven floors Of
which they occupy exclusively. These
seven floors are each 100x165 feet, aggre-
eating nearly 100000 square feet Of
about 8 scres) of floor surface. The new

25x40 feet. The enormous growth Of their

be explained by the fact that they sell d.

The Supreme Court Susfalns the
Tax of Mono County.

The Supreme Court SustaIns IN
License Tax of Mono County.
s. F. Alta: A decision of considerable
Importance to counties largely interested
in the sheep industry was handed down
yesterday in the Supreme Court. The de-
cision was made in the matter OF ex parte
Mirande on hsbeas corpus. The petitioner
was convicted on q charge of violating the
provisions of an ordinance Of the Board
Of Supervisors Of the county of Mono re-
latipg to the business of raising, grazing,
herding OF sheep" in said county. The
ordinance required persons engaged In the
above business TO obtain from the tax col
lector an annual license as follows: Those
owning or having under their control
5000 sheep or more, $3.50 for the first
5000 and for every additional 1000, $50;
1000 sheep and less than 5000, $500;
3, 1000 sheep or less than 1000, $3.50;
1000 or less than 5000, 500; 1900 or
less than 1000, $75; 1000 and less than
l 500, $50; less than 1000, S25. The
petitioner objected that the ordinance was
not passed at a regular meeting; was in
valid and confiicted with the State con-
stitution and the Fourteenth Amendment
of the Federal Constitution. The Su-
preme Court sustains the ordinance and
remands the prisoner. The decision in
effect upholds the constitutionality OF
the Act OF the Legislature Of March
IA, 1883, known as the County
Governments Act" Subdivision ~ and
du ties of Supervisors reads as follows:
"To license for purposes OF regulation
and revenue all and every kind of bust
ness not prohibited by law and transacted
and carried on in such county. and all
shows, exhibitions and lawful games car
ried on therein; to fix the rates of license
tax upon the same and to provide for the
collection OF the anne by suit or other
WISE"
In the course Of the decision the Court
says:
"Herding or grazing stock is or may be
q business. and it is upou such business
that the license is imposed. That prop
erty used in any particular calling Is sub
iect 10 and has paid q property tax, ad va
loren. as 10 this case, does not interdict
the right to impose a license upon the
business in which such property is used.
The Constitutional provision in relation
to uniformity of taxation does not apply
to prevent such license tax for such rea-
sons"
The opinion is written by Chief Justice
Searls, and Ia concurred in by Justices
Thornton, Temple. Patterson, Mcfarland
and McKinstry.

vada has been in town for several days
looking after the interests of his constitu-
ents, as matter Of course. He tells o tale
which is worth repeating. and is of local
interest to Washington readers. He says
he crossed Lake Tahoe, which lies between
California and Nevada, or partly in both
States, with q party of friends, and finally
reached his point OF destination in Nevada,
to wit: "Hell's Hole" The journey
was made or horseback, and all the pro-
vender and other stuff the party carried
was packed i. e., carried either on mules
or horses-for the country was SO rough
and mountainous that no wheeled vehicle
could pass over 10. This explanation will
give some idea of the difficulties of travel
In that section, but from all accounts they
are worth encountering, for Lake Tahoe
itself Is q marvel of Typographical beauty, and
the scenery t~hereabouts is equal in Its
grandeur possibly to that Of the Yosemite or
the Yellowstone. However, Mr.. WOODBURY.
and his friends we're just beginning to en-
Joy themselves at their camp near the
aforesaid " Hell's Hole" when their peace
and quiet aud comfort was suddenly inter-
rupted by the appearance of a Duputy
United States Marshal in their midst.
That official had trailed them over the
mountains, across the lake, and "pscked"

the Criminal Court, Washington D. O., to

And he did not go. The Duputy Mar
shall, having performed his duty, returned
TO civilization and proceeded forthwith to
render a bill against Uncle Sam for the
expenses OF his trip. amounting to two or
three hundred dollars. And, after all,
when Mr.. Woodburn got back within tel

Virgins Wins.

Virgins had the best of Professor Beard
yesterday. The Professor said it wouldn't
rain and Virgins said it would. But the
mistake was not due to any fault Of the
Professor. His machine was simply up.
side down. The " minimum " was above
the maximum" which served TO knock
the "wet bulb completely out Of joint.
The most accomplished scientific weather
sharp in the world couldn't tell anything
under such conditions as these. There is
some doubt as to whether the instruments
are applicable at all to this climate. They
seem to have been constructed for q wet
climate, while ours is as dry as a bone for
eight months in the year. The whole
business needs to be reversed; otherwise
the Professor mus. get off in his observa-
tions aud calculations. These left handed
tools are apt 70 bring everything wrong.
Whenever the Professor predicts rain it is
sure 20 be dry. and visa versa. To con-
strue his predictions by the rule Of con-
trariety would seem to be the only way
out OF IL. We don't abandon our Pro
lessor, yet if Virgins did knock him out
in one round. il was the fault OF the ma
chine that Virgins got there first.

Rare Literary Treasures to he
Given Away by Judge Sanders.
During the past year books and public
documents Of all kinds, the printing of
which was ordered during the Forty
seventh and Forty-eighth Congresses, of
which the writer was a member, have been
struggling along at intervals until o n Of
them had accumulated in the SENTINEL
Office. They became q burden and eye
sore. 1t became a question whether we
should move out and give up the whole
building to public documents. or make an
effort to get rid Of them. They were
given away to everybody who would take
the trouble to call for them, but the sup
ply more than equaled the demand. When
we enjoyed the ranking privilege we sent
these books broadcast throughout the
State. Some members of Congress sell
their entire quota OF books. etc.. to second
hand dealers in Washington. The whole
lot accorded to a member for one term in
Congress. will bring from $500 to 81 900.
But this is not the proper use to make OF
them. They are the peoples books
that is what they are printed for-and are
intended for distribution that the people
may familisrize themselves with oil of the
business Of the Government. II 10 a
mistake to presume that these books are
not valuable. The newspapers have
fallen into the habit of poking fun at them.
and in this way the people have come to
care but little for them. But as q matter
OF fact there is not a book published by
order of Congress, that does not contain
valuable information for the people.
